Each review score is between 1-10. To get the overall score that you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of review scores we’ve received. We are currently testing a weighted review system in Malta and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. In addition, guests can give separate ‘subscores’ in crucial areas, such as location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value for money and free Wi-Fi. Note that guests submit their subscores and their overall scores independently, so there’s no direct link between them.
You can review an Accommodation that you booked through our Platform if you stayed there or if you arrived at the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, please contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialise in detecting fake reviews submitted to our Platform. If we find any, we delete them and, if necessary, take action against whoever is responsible.
Anyone else who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team, so our Fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we would publish every review we receive, whether positive or negative. However, we won’t display any review that includes or refers to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out, and we may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old – or if the Accommodation has a change of ownership.
An Accommodation may choose to reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (what language a review is in, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). If you like, you can sort and/or filter them (by time of year, review score, etc.).
We sometimes show external review scores from other well-known travel websites. We make it clear when we’ve done this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly without limiting expression of strong opinions. They are also applicable regardless of the sentiment of the comment.
Contributions should be travel related. The most helpful contributions are detailed and help others make better decisions. Please don’t include personal, political, ethical, or religious commentary. Promotional content will be removed and issues concerning Booking.com’s services should be routed to our Customer Service or Accommodation Service teams.
Contributions should be appropriate for a global audience. Please avoid using profanity or attempts to approximate profanity with creative spelling, in any language. Comments and media that include 'hate speech', discriminatory remarks, threats, sexually explicit remarks, violence, and the promotion of illegal activity are not permitted.
All content should be genuine and unique to the guest. Reviews are most valuable when they are original and unbiased. Your contribution should be yours. Booking.com property partners should not post on behalf of guests or offer incentives in exchange for reviews. Attempts to bring down the rating of a competitor by submitting a negative review will not be tolerated.
Respect the privacy of others. Booking.com will make an effort to obscure email addresses, telephone numbers, website addresses, social media accounts, and similar details.
The opinions expressed in contributions are those of Booking.com customers and properties and not of Booking.com. Booking.com does not accept responsibility or liability for any reviews or responses. Booking.com is a distributor (without any obligation to verify) and not a publisher of these comments and responses.
By default, reviews are sorted based on the date of the review and on additional criteria to display the most relevant reviews, including but not limited to: your language, reviews with text, and non-anonymous reviews. Additional sorting options may be available (by type of traveller, by score, etc.).

United KingdomWe did have a problem with the toilet flush on the first night but we contacted the owners the following to let them know and by the time we had got back that evening it had been fixed. There is a smell of sulphur in the hot water but not enough to bother us and it’s to be expected in that area No view from the hot tub
We contacted the hosts beforehand and asked if possible could we have a lodge which was more away from the other lodges and they obliged . Location was great , easy to collect key from key safe . Owners were easily contactable if we needed anything. The hot tub water was nice and hot and it was clean.

Very cosy cabin, the location is great, the space is good and the hot tub is wonderful after a day out in the cold. It’s well located to visit a good number of the golden circle waterfalls. The food hall in the town close by is a great place to get some food.

United KingdomHad such a great stay and saw the Northern Lights on our first night, just outside of our cabin! Beds were really comfy. I couldn’t imagine six people in there. It was just me and my mum. Hot tub takes a good two hours to heat up. We booked this for five nights and only used it twice and the second time it was pretty cold. Our front door wasn’t working and had to wait awhile for someone to come and help us nearly 4 hours. Luckily we managed to get through the back door which didn’t have a lock. Four out of five stars could do some more pots and pans to cook. Was quite pricey but very good location to drive to places. Definitely need a car!

We would of loved it if we had been helped to get transport from the town as we had no car and we didn't know it was five miles from the town,perhaps let people know how to get taxis as we couldn't get one so we had to walk with our luggage but the lodge was great

Everything was great! This is our second stay and I can definitely say it was as perfect as it was the first time. Facilities and locations are great. Location for Golden circle is ideal and if conditions are good then it's a great place to grab a glimpse of the Aurora! Cannot recommend this place enough!

United KingdomAlthou the beds are super cosy, as it's a double bunk bed, it's not comfortable to use as a double bed for 2. Being up against the wall, it's difficult for the one (me) who always gets the short straw and has to sleep next to the wall.
The dirrct hotsprings hot tub keeps us coming back for more! The lodge is cosy and so much privacy. Feels like we are in the outback but with the convenience of a supermarket 5 drive away.

United KingdomThe shower was quite tight but manageable. Given the length of our stay it would have been great if we had some cleaning products just to keep the bathroom nice. We struggled a bit with cooking as we were missing a few bits like baking trays and smaller saucepans. Some cereal bowls would be great. This wasn’t an issue for us but the stairs are quite steep and something to be considered when travelling with young children (2 of the 8 available beds were upstairs)
We loved our stay here, we would 100% come back, the beds were so comfy, cabin was warm, the outside space was excellent and the hot tub really easy to use. We were really comfortable here for the 5 nights we stayed. Wifi worked perfectly, sitting area and table were perfect. Beds were made on arrival 😊

IrelandThe beds are small and built in as bunks so not great for couples. The cabins technically sleep 6 I think but I would find it very confined with more than 3-4. Bathroom needs refurbishing, cracked floor tiles and almost no water pressure in the sink (shower was fine)
Peaceful retreat with plenty of space around it. Other cabins were far enough away that you had complete privacy. Very comfortable living space. Hot tub was great fun even though we had poor weather. We didn’t meet the hosts at all but the communication and keybox entry was perfect.

NetherlandsThe (in this area unavoidable!) sulfurish smell of the water needs some time to get used to, but for us actually added to the charm of this accomodation.
Nice and spacious cottage. Lots of privacy. Loved the hot-tub. For us, this was the start of a 3 wk road trip through Iceland, but the location is also perfect if you only have time to visit Iceland's golden circle.
